So you want to paint the kitchen in your Toronto home? Congratulations! Painting your kitchen can be a cost-effective way to update your kitchen without going through a major kitchen renovation. It can also have a dramatic effect on resale value. If you’re doing your refurbishments correctly then when it comes to selling your property you will reap the benefits from your great sale value. The first step is painting and then it will be onto the flooring, electrics, plumbing (such as replacing the heat pump in the refrigerator from companies like https://nanceservices.net/heating/heat-pumps/), new kitchen cabinets, and various other equipment. All of these different elements together will boost your home’s value much higher than the cost of even refurbishing the property. However, for now, it is time to focus on the first step, which is the painting element of the refurbishment and you’ll be surprised what a lick of paint can do to a room.
What will it cost? It all depends on what you want to have done.
If you just want ceiling and walls freshened up in a typical 10′ by 10′ kitchen you’d be looking in the range of $450 to $700, not including prep work (ie. smoothing walls, priming for a dramatic colour change, etc.).
If you would like trim, such as doors, door frames, window frames and baseboards painted, you can expect to pay $50 per each side of the door and frame, and $30 per window frame, and $40 for baseboards in a typical 10′ by 10′ kitchen.
If you want cabinets to be painted you can expect $1000 for just doors in a smaller kitchen to over $2000 for a bigger kitchen and/or painting the shelving as well.
Why is cabinet painting so expensive? Actually, it’s the process we go through to ensure the paint bonds to the surface, which minimizes peeling long term.
First, we sand the surfaces to be painted.
Second, we prime the surfaces with a high-adhesion primer.
Third, we apply 2 coats of high-quality, durable paint, such as Benjamin Moore’s Advance or Sherwin William’s Pro Classic
